“On the evenings of August 31 and September 1, 1984, a dozen Wobbly singers produced a joint concert at Holstein’s on North Lincoln in Chicago, a club owned and operated by folk singers. This recording is the result. These songs, old and new, represent a fraction of what is available to us through the experience of our own lives and paying attention to our elders. Taken together they represent not only the living spirit of the I.W.W. but the imperishable ideal of essential solidarity of the working class WORLDWIDE. I t is that spirit of comradeship where ‘an injury to one is an injury to all,’ that we send these songs out to everyone everywhere struggling to build the worker’s commonwealth.” –Bruce Phillips, from his liner notes. Rebel Voices features Bruce Phillips, Faith Petric, Fred Holstein, Bruce Brackney, Marion Wade, Bob Bovee, Jeff Cahill, Kathy Taylor, J.B. Freeman, Robin Oye, Eric Glatz and Mark Ross.
